1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: Welcome everybody to the Tuesday edition of The Clay Travis

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 1: en Buck Sexton Show. Arman Clay on a much deserved

3
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: vacation and college tour with his oldest boy, so he'll

4
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: be back with us on Monday. He's taken the week

5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: to do the family stuff and enjoy himself. We hoped him.

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: Laura and the kids are having a great time. We

7
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: have a lot of news to dive into today, and

8
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: things are heating up. I think you could say that

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: the initial honeymoon period with the media, not that they

10
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,599
Speaker 1: wanted to give us one, but they were so shocked

11
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: that they couldn't even figure out a way to oppose

12
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: Trump effectively in public, that is starting to fade as

13
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: they scream recession, recession, and authoritarianism. So we shall discuss

14
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: where all this is coming from. We got Congress right

15
00:00:54,280 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: now wrangling over the Continuing Resolution. There's government shutdown talk,

16
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: oh boy, up on Capitol Hill. We will discuss this.

17
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: Trump announcing new tariffs on Canada. So he's going to

18
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: impose fifty percent tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum. We'll

19
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: discuss this. This is a retaliatory tariff. There's a lot

20
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: of back and forth over the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil,

21
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: an anti American pro Hamas pro Palestinian activist on a

22
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: student visa. I think that's a discussion we should get

23
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: into in a little bit. You've also got the aftermath

24
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: of Dylan mulvany on The View. It turns out the

25
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: ladies of the View are as disconnected from reality and

26
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: cognitively limited as we had always assumed here on the show,

27
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: or we had always discussed, And we shall get into

28
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: all of that and more. Also, take a bunch of

29
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: your calls eight hundred two two two eight eight, thank you.

30
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: And I'll just say this, my friends, it is important

31
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: to note that this was all what we should have

32
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: expected when you try to change the system, when you

33
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 1: take it upon yourself to challenge the way things are

34
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: done in the biggest, most expensive government in the history

35
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 1: of the world, which I think is fair to say,

36
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: no one else is spending the trillions that we have spent,

37
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: or we have gotten used to spending. No one else

38
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: has ever gotten thirty six trillion US dollars or the equivalent.

39
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe we could go back to ancient

40
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: Rome or something, but nobody else has run this up

41
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: the way that we have in the modern era. We've

42
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: got some real problems to fix. Right. The initial flurry

43
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 1: of executive orders from Trump was fantastic. It was it

44
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: was time for us all to high five, do backflips.

45
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: And like I said, if you remember you were listening

46
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: to us at the time, I said, enjoy this. Go

47
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: out this weekend, crack a beer or a chardonnay, or

48
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: whatever it is you like to you know, in my case,

49
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 1: some stevious sweetened water. Go go enjoy yourself and enjoy

50
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: the victory that Trump had over all the forces trying

51
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: to stop him. Enjoy the victory the Republicans had. Because

52
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: things are gonna get messy, and we're entering the messy phase. Now.

53
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: It's not going to be what they're telling you it is,

54
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 1: which is that somehow this is all going to fall

55
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: apart and the economy is so bad and it's all

56
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: Trump's fault. That is to be expected from an anti

57
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: Trump media that has lied to you about absolutely everything.

58
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: I've seen that, even with the the Heritage Foundation, I

59
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: think it's the accountability project they have. They've looked at

60
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: the signatures, the auto pen signatures of Biden on a

61
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: bunch of his well, a bunch of things that he

62
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: officially signed, and some of them don't match up. And

63
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: this under a normal president, Under a cognitively functioning president,

64
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: you might say, well, you know, people use autopens. Did

65
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: Biden even know all the things he was signing? And

66
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: if he didn't know all the things he was signing,

67
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: it's not really law, is it if some advisor just

68
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: effectively forged his signature. Right? It's one thing for a

69
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: president to have an autopen signature. Go, yes, my hand

70
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,799
Speaker 1: is tired. Auto that has happened before. We know this. Oh,

71
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: I'm not discounting that reality. But if a president isn't

72
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: even aware of what is being signed in his name,

73
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: is is that a thing that we don't pay attention to?

74
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: Does that not have consequences? I think it clearly should.

75
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: But I bring it up because we have entered a

76
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: new era now where we have a president who is

77
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: very much engaged and advisors who are on a mission.

78
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: This is not the business as usual presidency. This is

79
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: not even the Trump as we got to know him presidency,

80
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: as in Trump one point oh. This is clearly Trump

81
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: two point oh. This is something elevated and beyond the

82
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: first go round. There was a lot of on the

83
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: job learning. There were personnel decisions and mistakes. Let's just

84
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: be honest about this. Trump is honest about it. He

85
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: fired a bunch of people. He has had people turn

86
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: against him who owe their careers to him, now in

87
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: the media, but then in government. So there was a

88
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: learning curve, and there was there was, i think from

89
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: the Trump team also the surprise of having to deal

90
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: with not just the media going all out against him,

91
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: but we remember the Russia collusion hoax and the media, Democrat,

92
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: intelligence community complex, the apparatus all going at Trump with

93
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: everything that they had, and it slowed things down. This

94
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: time around, they have thrown everything at him, and they

95
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: have been shown incapable of stopping him from getting to

96
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: his second term. A magnificent thing, an incredible comeback. That's

97
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: what I told you. Enjoy it. Don't just look at

98
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: the fight ahead. You know, when you win the big

99
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: game before you go to the state championship, you still

100
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: go out and celebrate. The election victory was huge. Now

101
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: we get to fixing the country. And fixing the country

102
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: isn't going to be something that just happens overnight or

103
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: even in the first quarter or two of Trump's urn.

104
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: Remember he hasn't even been an office two months, and

105
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: they're saying, oh, look at the price of eggs, look

106
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: at the stock marker, look at noise. This is noise.

107
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: And there's also an important perception management that has to

108
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: go on here where if you're going to contract government

109
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: and if we have become for GDP purposes reliant on

110
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: government's expansion, as in too much spending the government just creates,

111
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: creates the perception of additional value. It's just numbers on

112
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: a screen, or it's paying bureaucrats who do nothing. I

113
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: mentioned you yesterday twenty five percent of new jobs under

114
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: Biden government jobs. The government is putting out twenty five

115
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: percent of the new jobs that are being created over

116
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: the course of an entire twenty twenty three I think,

117
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: and twenty twenty four is close to it, if not

118
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: the same, that's not making any of us better off.

119
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: That is just expanding the scope and price tag of

120
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: the government itself. To deal with that though, it's a

121
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,679
Speaker 1: little bit like going on a diet something I know about,

122
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: because you're going to be hungry, and if we have

123
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: to be hungry here when it comes to government spending

124
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: a little bit. This is the thing it's all about.

125
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: It's all about proportion, it's all about balance. Trump is

126
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: trying to restore balance, Elon Doze, They're trying to restore

127
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: sanity in the way that the government spends, in the

128
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: way that the government takes your money in your name

129
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: and puts it to use, in many cases, very bad use,

130
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: in some cases, just effectively lighting money on fire. To

131
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: stop that process from happening, there's going to be fierce opposition,

132
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: which we have already seen, right, especially when you start

133
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: to touch these NGOs. I think it was Elon who said,

134
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: and it's so right. How is it a non government

135
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: organization if the government is entirely responsible for funding it,

136
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: that's just a cutout. That's what we would call it

137
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: intelligence circles, right, that's a carve out, it's a proxy.

138
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: So something was very wrong with that whole situation, and

139
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: now many of us are far more aware of it

140
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 1: than we ever we ever had been in the past.

141
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 1: So that's an important win. And now we're looking at

142
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: the beginning of stopping the spending juggernaut from just rampaging

143
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: forward toward forty trillion dollars of debt. It's not going

144
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: to be easy, and it is not going to be

145
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: without a little bit of rumbling along the way. There's

146
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: there's going to be some moments where things are going

147
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: to look a little bit tougher than they might have

148
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: been if we just continued spending. But we can't continue

149
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: the spending. And this is why Trump has come out

150
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: and said that he wants to put the country on

151
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: a firmer economic footing. He wants to do what he

152
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: can so that This isn't just about what the stock

153
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,479
Speaker 1: market looks like now, it's how far is your paycheck

154
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: going in a year, in two years, in five years.

155
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: This is about turning around a massive part of the

156
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: economic engine here so that it is and really redoing

157
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: parts of it so that it can function more efficiently

158
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: for everyone. Because we've seen what the inflation has done

159
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: to your ability to pay your rent. We've seen if

160
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: you are asset light in this economy, meaning if you

161
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 1: don't own a lot of stuff that is productive, stocks,

162
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: real estate, things like that, if you don't know, then

163
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: that all gets infla along with the inflation. And so

164
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: what it does is it squeezes those who are working

165
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: for paychecks for a living, which is the vast majority

166
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: of the American people. Those who are doing work and

167
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: trying to get ahead and just trying to pay their

168
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: bills and do it the right way, they have a

169
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: tougher time, and it is effectively attacks on them to

170
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: continue to spend at the levels we have currently seen.

171
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: This has to be addressed, This has to be changed.

172
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: And this is also why you will see Democrats are

173
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: You'll notice there's no spending that they really want to cut.

174
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: They like the control that this gives them. There's a

175
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: tremendous amount of social engineering that is possible when you're

176
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: spending so much money that nobody even knows what you're

177
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: spending it on or who's getting it. It is such

178
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: a shield. It is such a shroud for corruption because

179
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: if you don't if no one really knows where the

180
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: money's going. The numbers are so big and there's so

181
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: many things, how can you ever get a handle on this.

182
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: This is where Trump and Elon and Doge come in

183
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: and the fight over the government shutdown. I have a

184
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: tough time getting all that energized about this. One way

185
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: or the other. We've been through this before. It's a

186
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: lot of brinksmanship and blame game stuff, and eventually the

187
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: government will be funded if they allow it to be

188
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 1: defunded temporarily or the funding to run short. I believe

189
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: Trump then is in a position to just decide what

190
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: is considered essential and what keeps running. So there's that.

191
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: But here is Speaker Johnson who is trying to wrangle

192
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: all of this, and he's saying that it's Democrats who

193
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: are taking this to the point where there could be

194
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: a shutdown. Play one.

195
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 2: They're planning to vote down the simple Bill. They are

196
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 2: going to try to shut the government down. Every House

197
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 2: Democrat will participate on this. It looks like that would

198
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 2: be a shame if it's true. I hope some of

199
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 2: them will have a moment of clarity themselves and do

200
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 2: the right thing. But it looks like they're going to

201
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 2: try to shut down the government. It's a striking new

202
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 2: posture for Democrats who have always said they spend apoplectic

203
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 2: about the prospect of government shutdowns. Democrats have been insisting

204
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: they're fighting for federal workers. You're about to see again

205
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: on vivid display very clear the contrast. You will see

206
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 2: one team that is working to fund the government and

207
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 2: make sure we do the responsible thing. And you're going

208
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 2: to see another posing as r because they've now exposed

209
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 2: the truth. They're not for federal workers, they're not for anyone.

210
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 2: All the people they've said in the past that are

211
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 2: going to be harmed would be by their votes.

212
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: This is one of the challenges of opposing Democrats is

213
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: that they stand for whatever they need to stand for

214
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: in the moment. They change their mind on everything. They

215
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: change their principles as if they have any They change

216
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: what they believe in. It doesn't It's about power, and

217
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: when you're talking about the government and how it spends money,

218
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: there might be no more clear abuse of power that

219
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: Democrats can engage in then what we see, which is

220
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: spending us all into oblivion. Tackling this is a critical issue.

221
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: I've said it from the very beginning. Are borders and

222
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: the government cutting it down to side, cutting the spending down,

223
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: cutting the bureaucray down the two most important missions of

224
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: the Trump administration. We've seen excellent work at the border

225
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: so far. Thank you Tom Homan and team, and credit

226
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: to DHS Secretary Nome. Credit to the people that are

227
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: doing what is necessary to secure our border. So that

228
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: it's ninety five percent down for illegal crossings. Interior enforcement

229
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,839
Speaker 1: is the harder problem. I will always be honest with you.

230
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: That is even more challenging, and that will require more

231
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: political will and more infrastructure. It's millions, it's tens of

232
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: millions of people that you're talking about who are at

233
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: least possible deportees. And then you have tackling the government beast.

234
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: You see, the Democrats had created a system where they

235
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: win no matter what, even when they lose elections, they

236
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: win because the spending is automatic, because the bureaucracy is huge,

237
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: because there's no accountability in DC, and it's just one

238
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: free for all with your money, you go to work,

239
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: you spend your life and your time trying to be

240
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 1: productive and provide for your family. And the shenanigans in

241
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: DC means that you're a hamster on a treadmill that

242
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: keeps going faster and faster and faster, and how are

243
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: you supposed to keep up? That's not good. And Trump

244
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: recognizes that his team sees what's going on and they

245
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: are taking steps to make this better. It's not going

246
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: to be perfect, it's not going to be quick, and

247
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: it's not going to be that easy. There's going to

248
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: be a little bit of disruption. The markets may be

249
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: in some tumult here for a few months. Of course,

250
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: of course, when you're correcting a problem, there tends to

251
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: be right in. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

252
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: When you stop overspending, it's going to feel like things

253
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: are a little lean sometimes, but for a vast majority

254
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: of people. I truly believe it's vast degory of Americans.

255
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: This is clearly the way it has to be done,

256
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: and it has to be done now. By the midterms,

257
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: we're back to business as usual. By the midterms 're

258
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: just arguing over how to move the deck chairs on

259
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: our fiscal titanic. It's not good. It's a horrible feeling

260
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: when you discover your personal information is in the hands

261
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: of a cyber hacker. These criminals work silently and in

262
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: the background to break into databases, including your confidential information.

263
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: You usually don't find out about it until after the

264
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: damage is done, leaving you with a mess to deal with.

265
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: Closing accounts and canceling credit cards that have been compromised.

266
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: Lots of places can accidentally expose your personal information, giving

267
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: these cyber hackers a headstart That's why having lifelocks online

283
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: a moment. For a moment. All right, strap in, it's

284
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: gonna get wild. We're gonna talk a little tariff econ

285
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: one oh one history. Maybe we'll dive into the Smoot

286
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: Hawley tariffs back in what the thirties, this is This

287
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: is a moment where I think it's important to look

288
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: at the basics because things are getting a little bit

289
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: feisty on the tariff front. And let me just give

290
00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: you the news on this, and then we'll do a

291
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: little bit of a deep dive into the analysis. Donald

292
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: Trump from Truth Social I'm quoting now based on Ontario,

293
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: Canada placing a twenty five percent tariff on electricity coming

294
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: into the United States. I've instructed my Secretary of Commerce

295
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: to add an additional twenty five percent tariff to fifty

296
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: percent tariff on all steel and aluminum coming into the

297
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: United States from Canada, one of the highest tariffing nations

298
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: anywhere in the world. Okay, So he says, this will

299
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: go into effect tomorrow morning, March twelve. He says Canada

300
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 1: must drop their anti American farmer tariff of two hundred

301
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: and fifty percent on various US dairy products. I'll declare

302
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,959
Speaker 1: a national emergency in electricity within the threatened area. This

303
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 1: will allow the US to do what needs to be

304
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: done to alleviate this abusive threat from Canada. Okay, couple

305
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: thanks here. First of all, as we've already established, because

306
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: this is so important I understand the economic consensus, such

307
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: as it exists among among economists is that tariffs are

308
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: almost like it's like a sales tax or it's just

309
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: it's a tax that consumers pay and it lessens aggregate demand,

310
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: and so they just say that's bad. They just view

311
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: tariffs bad. They want total free trade. That's the least theoretically.

312
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: The problem with this, and this is why I gave

313
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: economists a little rough stuff yesterday. The problem with this

314
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: is that there are a lot of tariffs and a

315
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: lot of protectionist policies in place all over the world already,

316
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 1: including with our neighbors Mexico and Canada. So we're not

317
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: starting from a place of everything is level. Why are

318
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: you making it not level with your tariff. This is

319
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: where we get to reciprocal tariff, right in the word reciprocal.

320
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: They're doing this to us, and so we do something

321
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: in response. If if my neighbor Clay hates leaf blowers,

322
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: and by the way, he has spot on leaf blowers

323
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: drive me insane too. If my neighbor is using a

324
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,959
Speaker 1: leaf blower super loudly and they won't stop at you know,

325
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 1: seven o'clock at night, eight o'clock at night, because as

326
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: we know, this is leaf blower should be a nine

327
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: to five thing. You shouldn't wake anybody up, You shouldn't

328
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 1: keep anybody from going to sleep anyway. Some of you

329
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: are going to take issue with that, but you're wrong.

330
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: If I then start playing loud music, if I start

331
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: blasting Beethoven over the fence so that they get the hint,

332
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: I'm not the noise polluter. I'm engaged in a reciprocal

333
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: act of noisemaking so that they will stop. Although maybe

334
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: they'll just love the Beethoven. This is a total digrette,

335
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: you know what. I'll come to this later. I actually

336
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: experience something in Nashville when it comes to classical music

337
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,959
Speaker 1: I thought was fascinating. But I'll tell you about that

338
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: in a moment. I don't want to I don't I

339
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: don't want to weave too much. I don't want to

340
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 1: weave too much Trump weaves. I weave without clay. Here

341
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: my weave can sometimes spin off into So I'm going

342
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: to get back on the tariffs, reciprocal tariffs, meaning they

343
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: are doing this to us. Why would a country, why

344
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: would Canada have a two hundred and fifty percent tariff

345
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: on our dairy going across the border unless there were

346
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: some benefit to them. Of course, there is some benefit

347
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 1: to your domestic producers and domestic industry. And so that's

348
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 1: why other countries do this to us, right, I mean,

349
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: we're just we're just looking at this logically. Put aside,

350
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: you know, whether somebody is Paul Krugman is an economist

351
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 1: who got a Nobel prize, the guys a moron. So

352
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's not like we have to just sit

353
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: there and say, oh, whatever you say. Economists. Now you

354
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: look at individual tariffs on individual on an individual basis,

355
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: and you realize they are a tool. It is a tool,

356
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 1: just like for example, sanctions saying now that's a more

357
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 1: that's more aggressive. But you know, sanctions are a tool,

358
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: sometimes good, sometimes bad, sometimes good sometimes bat it depends.

359
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: It is case dependent. And this is what gets lost

360
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: in so much of the discussion about this because people

361
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: just say they have this this automatic wave of the hand,

362
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: will all the economists say, And I'm like, you know,

363
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: what do all the economists really know? You know, you

364
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 1: got to ask that question what they what have they

365
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: gotten right about the economy recently? Not a whole lot. Now,

366
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: there are obviously exceptions to this. We have some great economists,

367
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: and we've had Art Laugher on the show and Steve

368
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: Borr on the show, and they're brilliant guys out there.

369
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: But I mean, the it's like the same thing with

370
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: the foreign policy consensus. If you listen to the DC

371
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: based foreign policy consensus, there's not a war we shouldn't fight,

372
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: there's not an invasion we shouldn't do. You know, America

373
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 1: is the global police and they've been very wrong and

374
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: we've paid a heavy price for this. With the so

375
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: called economic consensus, we have been on the receiving end

376
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: of tariffs and what you could say our trade war

377
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 1: acts for a long time, and we don't do anything

378
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: in response. This is where Trump was right on the

379
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: issue of China in his first term, and the DC

380
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: consensus was so remember I say DC consensus because a

381
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: lot of Republicans. It's not just Democrats opposed Trump period. Democrats.

382
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: You know, Trump says, hey, it's a nice day, and

383
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: they're like, it's a terrible day. Seventy five degrees and

384
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: breezy is terrible. They don't care. But there are Republicans

385
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: that go along with this as well. There are Republicans

386
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: that decide, Oh, I disagree with Trump on this issue,

387
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: and they were proven wrong in the first term on

388
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: China in my opinion, and I think in everyone's opinion,

389
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: because even Biden kept a lot of the Trump China

390
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: policies in place on trade. We want to get them

391
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: to stop doing what they're doing. So we are then

392
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: creating the threat of tariffs, creates and even a more

393
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: even playing ground for our producers and our consumers. Why

394
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: should we have less access to their market than they

395
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: have to ours. Ah And this is again where it's

396
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: a tool. Now we have the premiere of Ontario, Doug

397
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: Ford here talking tough about terrif fights with Trump play

398
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: this one.

399
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 4: Let me be clear. I will not hesitate to increase

400
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 4: this charge if necessary if the United States escalates, I

401
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 4: will not hesitate to shut the electricity off completely. Believe

402
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,719
Speaker 4: me when I say I do not want to do this.

403
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 4: I feel terrible for the American people because it's not

404
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 4: the American people who started this trade war. It's one

405
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 4: person who's responsible. That's President Trump. I'd rather be working together.

406
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 4: I want to sell the US more energy, g G,

407
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 4: more electricity, more critical minerals. I want to make Canada

408
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 4: in the United States the richest, most successful, safest.

409
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it anyway, The point is he's throwing down

410
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: with Trump.

411
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 5: Now.

412
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: They're saying they're going to make our electricity cost more,

413
00:23:55,640 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: specifically to Minnesota, Michigan, and New York which get electrics

414
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 1: across across the border from from Canada. So they're gonna

415
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: drive up energy prices on us. Trump is saying, don't worry,

416
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna handle this. Here's the way to handle it.

417
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: We want also things that aren't necessarily purely economic as well,

418
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: which is where more so with Mexico, but also with Canada.

419
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 1: We want border cooperation. So see people say again tariffs

420
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 1: are a tool. Okay, will something be Will something be

421
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: more expensive as a result of tariff, particularly over a

422
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 1: relatively short period of time, Yes, But are there more

423
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 1: important things than the cost of goods in that one

424
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: sector for that period of time. This is a decision

425
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: to be made, right, What is more important that we

426
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: keep I don't know the cost of textiles brought in

427
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: from Mexico. I think those are even brought in mostly

428
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: from Southeast Asia now, But whatever were the cost of avocados,

429
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: That's what we always Oh my gosh, if we do

430
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: anything with Mexico and trade, you're your avocado toast is

431
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: going to be And that's always a cheap shot. They

432
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: take at US Millennial and gen Z with the avocado

433
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 1: toast is delicious, but they say, your avocado is going

434
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: to be so expensive? All right, If a fifty percent

435
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: increase in the cost of avocados is something that we're

436
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: willing to bear in order to get a fifty percent

437
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: reduction in I don't know sentinel seizures at the border.

438
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 1: Is that worth it? Again, it is a tool. It's

439
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: something that Trump is using. Did Trump blow up the economy?

440
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: And this is the other part of this I get

441
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: too as well. Did Trump blow up the economy in

442
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: the first administration when he was doing these different maneuvers

443
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: on trade, when he negotiated the US Canada Mexico agreement.

444
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: What is the record of Trump on the economy? Phenomenally strong? Right?

445
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: Who knows more than Trump, who has been in a

446
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 1: position of leadership, who's been a president in recent memory?

447
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: No one, No one is better on the economy than Trump.

448
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: I would say, as president in my lifetime, better than Bush,

449
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 1: better than Obama, better, obviously better than Biden. I mean,

450
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 1: you can go back to Reagan, but there are some

451
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: things that would I would quibble with when it comes

452
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: to some of well, really on immigration with Reagan, that's

453
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: where we have a departure, more so than on the economy. Nonetheless,

454
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: I think that Trump has earned the leeway to pursue

455
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 1: these paths without people freaking out, at least on our side.

456
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: The Democrats are going to freak out no matter what,

457
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 1: but on our side of things, it's going to be

458
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: it's going to be a little bit of time, and

459
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: there's going to be a little bit of disruption, because

460
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: to be a disruptor to the system requires some disruption.

461
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: This is very straightforward. You're not going to fix this

462
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,479
Speaker 1: stuff without there being a little bit of whoa okay,

463
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: And there's going to be kicking and screaming from bureaucrats

464
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: and the deep state and the Democrats and the anti

465
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: Trump media that's looking for anything to say that is

466
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: noive for Trump. So when we talk about tariffs, I

467
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: just think it's important to put it in the context

468
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: of one, it's a negotiating tool. Some of these tariffs

469
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: won't even go into effect. Two, the reciprocal tariffs they

470
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: are in response to, in a lot of cases, tariffs

471
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: that already exist with other countries. So we're saying, hey,

472
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: knock that off, and we'll knock this off. What's wrong

473
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 1: with that? I don't understand. Why why should we say

474
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: that other countries could punish our access to their markets

475
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 1: and punish our producers, but we can't do the same.

476
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: And then three, sometimes there are things that are more

477
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: important than an increase in the cost in a certain

478
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: industry at a certain time. This is really where I

479
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: get into the agreement on Mexico with Mexico on border issues,

480
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 1: that's a critical US national security and sovereignty interest. It's

481
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: not just about the price of avocados. So with that

482
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: in mind, I understand we don't want things to get crazy.

483
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: We don't want prices to skyrocket. The trumpet is sensitive

484
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 1: to it. But just remember the same people who are

485
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: criticizing this with the most fervor in the media and

486
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: in a commentariat, we're the ones who were telling you

487
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden with sharp as attack. Why would you

488
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: believe them now? Why do they have credibility now on

489
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 1: this issue? So we give it some time, We let

490
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: this play out, We let Trump do what he does. Okay,

491
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: he's got Elon Musk. You got people running around Democrats,

492
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: Elon Musk is dumb. Anybody who tells you Elon Musk

493
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: is dumb shouldn't be listened to on anything. And I

494
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: don't know how they can even tie their own shoes.

495
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: They shouldn't be listened to on a single issue period,

496
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: full stop. All right, We've got very smart people. I

497
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: do not have concerns, especially on the economic and budget

498
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: cutting side of this administration. You have an all star

499
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: team that has been assembled. Look at the people who

500
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: are criticizing it. They when I said, look it's okay

501
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: to say I disagree with this tariff for that tariff,

502
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: that's fine. I mean the ones we're saying, we're session

503
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna be terrible. They're trying to induce fear in

504
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: people to turn them against what Trump is trying to do.

505
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: This is the moment where we have to sort of

506
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: steal our spines and say, all right, let's go. We

507
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: wanted this ride, we said, we said Trump, I'm tall

508
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: enough for the roller coaster. Let's get on the roller coaster.

509
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun, it's gonna be great. But there

510
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: are gonna be sometimes where it's a little whoa. We're

511
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: going pretty fast. I'm just saying now, look, a lot

512
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: of people have go bags in the event of an emergency.

513
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: What about having a stay bag to protect your home

514
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: if the threat is at your doorstep. Our sponsor, Saber,

00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: I have in my look, I'll tell you where I have.

520
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: I've got my gun closet and I've got my Saber

521
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: portion of the gun closet, so I have non lethal

522
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: and lethal options depending on not only my comfort level,

523
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: but carries not a gun gal. Okay, I'm a gun guy.

524
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: Carries not a gun gal. She likes having and feels

525
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: better knowing that she has or when she leaves the

526
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: house non lethal options. For when she's in the house,

527
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: non lethal options. And Saber makes the best in class,

528
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: especially the Pepper projectile launcher, which I'm just going to

529
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: tell you. Also training with this so you get comfort

530
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,239
Speaker 1: with it. It's a lot of fun. Clay and I

531
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: have done this. The pepper projectile launcher from Saber is

532
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: the best. It is the only sixty gage launcher on

533
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: the market. There are others that try to copy this,

534
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: they're not as good. I've tried all of them. Sabers

535
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: are the best in class when it comes to having

536
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: a pepper launcher projectile because that pepper cloud can stop

537
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: that threat very quickly and you don't have to be

538
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: super accurate because it creates a six foot pepper cloud spray.

539

00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: A couple of things for the Ombudsman here, which I

549
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: guess I have to play the Armbudsman for myself. Uh

550
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: for today uh, my wife pointed out as she was

551
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: listening on the way back in from being out, and

552
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: about that, I said, the three year I meant the

553
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: five year anniversary of the COVID lockdowns went into effect now,

554
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: and I want so much time on it because there's

555
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about now. And that was five

556
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: years ago. But it was insane, and I am very

557
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: proud that I opposed the lockdowns by the first week

558
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: of I mean openly opposed the whole thing. As soon

559
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: as two weeks to slow over was it ten days

560
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: or two weeks? It is two weeks to slow the spread.

561
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: I'm even forgetting now ten days to slow the spread,

562
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: whatever it was. As soon as that was over, I

563
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, let's go back to life. We gave

564
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: we gave the we gave the hospital capacity, we gave

565
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: them time to get ready and catch up, and then

566
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: they said no. And then we realized it was a

567
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: bait and switch. And then we realized that we were

568
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: getting a little trial run of authoritarianism, and it was

569
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: the health bureaucracy. It's like it had taken over the government,

570
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: and certainly at the state level, we saw just madness.

571
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: And I'm very very thankful to Donald Trump for allowing

572
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: the State of Florida. Remember he did not come down

573
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: hard and everyone wanted to oh the federal government. He

574
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: allowed the State of Florida to be a laboratory of

575
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: freedom during COVID and Governor DeSantis for being the best noun.

576
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: Nobody was perfect. Everybody had a little period of a

577
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: few weeks or so or a couple of months where

578
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: they were allowing restrictions in their states. But some people

579
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: figured out what was going on pretty quickly. In others,

580
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: like the Democrats, just kept getting crazier and crazier for years,

581
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: crazier and crazier so that I just wanted to know it. Yes,

582
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: it's five years, not three years, and it is amazing.

583
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: Now I really think of my life in my mind,

584
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: and I'm sure I'm not the only one. There are

585
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: two events, historical events that are my my sort of

586
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: before and after for periods. Right, It's like when did

587
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: the when did the medieval period turn into the Renaissance

588
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: turn into you know those time markers and it's nine

589
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: to eleven and COVID lockdowns. Those are just two things

590
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: in my mind that there's there was, there was the

591
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: before and after world that I lived in and the

592
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: before and after world that I lived in with COVID.

593
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: So those are two two things. The other bombs budsman

594
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: note that I would point out is, yes, I know

595
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: that I need a haircut. For those of you who

596
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: are watching on the video stream, no, I do not

597
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: use a weed whacker, and I think that's very mean.

598
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: So yes, I'm getting a haircut, probably probably even tomorrow.

599
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: I'll go see a couple of my I got a

600
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 1: couple of Cuban American friends here who do a great job,

601
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: nice and quick. They don't they don't want to like

602
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: get chatty with me. They just do a great job

603
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: cutting their hair. And they bring me the Cuban coffee

604
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: in a little just a little tiny bit of it.

605
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: That stuff is good, almost crocket level good. I'm telling

606
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: you all right. So yes, it is not in fact

607
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: a you know, I do not have a wooly mammoth

608
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,879
Speaker 1: on my head. All these things that people say I'm true,

609
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: I'm true, fake news. No wooly mammoth on Buck's head.

610
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: So elon, musk, elon musk. Here is, first of all,

611
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 1: I wanted to note, because I brought it up yesterday,

612
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: that eck was down for a bit, and that's troubling

613
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: because X is now the first line social media platform

614
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: for free speech. I know about truth and Rumbull, I'm

615
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: on those platforms too, but X has broader reach. That's

616
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: why I was acquired forty forty four billion dollars or

617
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: whatever it is. And Elon said something that I just

618
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: have to know that this is very interesting and I'm

619
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: not a technical Well, yeah, clearly, I'm not a technological expert,

620
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: so I can't speak to how verified or verifiable this is.

621
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 1: But this has cut five. He said that the massive

622
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: attacks attack on X which shut it down various times

623
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: throughout the day, came from and he want to guess

624
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: play five.

625
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 6: There was a cyber attack on X today which shut.

626
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 2: It down and may have been foreign sourced.

627
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: It's a big story. You want to give us a

628
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: moment on that.

629
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 6: Well, we're not sure exactly what happened, but there was

630
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 6: a massive cyber attack to try to bring down the

631
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 6: X system with IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area.

632
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: IP addresses in Ukraine. Now, maybe they were spoofed, mirrored.

633
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: I know there's ways to fit, but I think Elon's

634
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,800
Speaker 1: a pretty sophisticated player when it comes to the Internet

635
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 1: and technology. So if anyone's going to be able to

636
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,720
Speaker 1: get his team to figure out what really happened here,

637
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: I think he's very high on the list. I don't

638
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: know who would be much better at this. So if

639
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: he maybe he'll come out and say, oh, they mirrored

640
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: it and it was actually from somewhere else. I don't know.

641
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: He said it's not He even said it's not definitive

642
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: or all that clear, but it is interesting that that

643
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: might have happened. I'm just going to know that that

644
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: is a situation that we should pay some attention to.

645
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: Somebody in Ukraine would be taking it upon themselves. It

646
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: was sophisticated too. This is not something that I think

647
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: would be easy for some individual to just pull off.

648
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: What's what's wrong with people being able to share information

649
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: freely about the Ukraine and what's going on over there?

650
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: Why would anyone want to stop that? I think that

651
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:20,720
Speaker 1: is very interesting. You had Senator Mark Kelly who wanted

652
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: to be I think Vice President Mark Kelly, but probably

653
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: made a smart decision not tying himself to the Kamala ticket.

654
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: To be fair, this is cut nine. He elon Musk

655
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: called him said that it's Mark Kelly went to Ukraine

656
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: on his own to do one of these Ukraine tours.

657
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 1: Elon didn't like it. I think he said that that's

658
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: a betrayal, or he's he's betrayed his country. He's a

659
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: trader for doing this. And here's what Mark Kelly said

660
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 1: about Elon in response, play nine thou.

661
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 7: Me obmuously he's not a serious twelve year old, so

662
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 7: I don't think. And I served as our country in

663
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 7: the maybe twenty five years. When I was twenty two

664
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 7: years old, I swore an oath to defend the Constitution.

665
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: I've lived that oath.

666
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 7: My entire life. I'm I'm not sure if Elon has

667
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 7: sworn an oath to anything.

668
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: I was a guest.

669
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 7: It's probably just billionaires like himself.

670
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: Wow, really we're gonna we're gonna do that? Huh. If

671
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: you start off saying you don't take Elon Musk seriously,

672
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be taken seriously. What what could be a

673
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: dumber thing to say than the richest guy in the

674
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: world who's creating more. I thought Elon was amazing. I

675
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: read Elon's biography biography before he was red pilled on

676
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 1: the Trump trainer. The guy's just done incredible stuff, incredible

677
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: stuff that's changing the future and and providing a lot

678
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: of value to humanity in the process. He's he's not

679
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: He's not a serious person. If el Musk is not

680
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: a serious person, who is who is? You know, you

681
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 1: have to have to wonder about this assessment of him.

682
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: The work that Doze is doing is certainly serious and important.

683
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:15,320
Speaker 1: And here he is Elon speaking about that. This is

684
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: cut seven. He just wants everybody to know how essential

685
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 1: Doze is. So essential to him. Here's a guy. Let

686
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: me just take a step back before we play that cut.

687
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: Elon is as part of his mission, specifically with SpaceX,

688
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,240
Speaker 1: he wants us to get to Mars because he wants

689
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: humanity to be interplanetary in case something terrible happens here,

690
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: asteroid hit, nuclear war, whatever. Right. I think he actually

691
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,359
Speaker 1: is a little worried about climate change. I hope he's

692
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: moderated that because I'm not saying Elon's right about everything,

693
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,479
Speaker 1: but he wants us to be interplanetary, so he thinks

694
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: the survival of the human species over the long run

695
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: requires us to be a multiplanetary I'm sorry I said

696
00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: inter multiplanetary planetary species. Now he is willing for free

697
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: to take time away from that mission to help Donald

698
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: Trump to try to fix the government in this country.

699
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: I think that goes to how important he thinks it is.

700
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: I also think anybody who tells you that Elon's only

701
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: in this for his billionaire friends is a moron. That's

702
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: just that's absurd. He's the richest guy in the money.

703
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 1: He's got more money than any other human being alive

704
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,879
Speaker 1: in the world. There's seven billion people in the world.

705
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: He's the richest one, and you think that this is

706
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,919
Speaker 1: all a game because he wants more money. I mean,

707
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,959
Speaker 1: once you're worth a billion dollars, like, how much money

708
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,760
Speaker 1: does how much value? Does money even have additional money?

709
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: It's a very steep decline. You know, your first one

710
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars in the bank, I've been there building

711
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,479
Speaker 1: it up. Makes a big difference that first one hundred grand,

712
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: first ten grand. If you don't have it, man, you

713
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: get that I got. I got a you know, a

714
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 1: couple of months or six months or whatever it is

715
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: of security in the bank. If I were to lose

716
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: my job, that really helps. Right when you're worth three

717
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: hundred billion dollars. Being worth three hundred and fifty billion

718
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: dollars doesn't get you out of bed in the morning. Okay,

719
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 1: nobody cares. So these attacks about that are absurd. And anyway,

720
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: here's what he says about Doge And how important is

721
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: this this cut seven plays? What motivates you to do this?

722
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 3: Well?

723
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: Supposed the opera good. It's tough setting.

724
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's tough sletting, but I think we're doing the

725
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 6: right thing here. There have been many orders that are

726
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 6: pointed out that there's trans amount of waste import in

727
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 6: the government. In fact, there was a report issued by

728
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 6: the gapao A, the govern Accountability Office last year so

729
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 6: during the Biden administration, which estimated the federal comment frauds the.

730
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:51,320
Speaker 1: Half a trillion dollars.

731
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 6: So, just because that's not a Trump administration, think it's

732
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 6: a Biden administration thing. So what we're trying to do

733
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 6: is get that number down to a much smaller figure.

734
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: Half a trillion dollars of fraud a Biden administration figure

735
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:14,399
Speaker 1: based on government audits and estimates of five hundred billion dollars.

736
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 1: Why would any person not want him to end that? Well,

737
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: now you get into the ugly truth about the Democrat Party,

738
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: which is that a lot of stuff that does not

739
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,280
Speaker 1: have support on its own is funded by the government.

740
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: A lot of ideologically toxic left wing stuff relies on

741
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: government funding, a lot of uniparty activity, and we're in

742
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:44,720
Speaker 1: charge even when we lose elections, relies on the massive

743
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: federal bureaucracy, relies on the bureaucracy's ability to give a

744
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:53,439
Speaker 1: lot of money to people that nobody even knows about.

745
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: We need this transparency and everyone should want it, and

746
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: that Democrat don't, and that they hate Elon. You got

747
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: lunatic Democrats who are lighting Tesla's on fire now as

748
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: some kind of anti Elon protest. You're not going to

749
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: bank bankrupt Elon by throwing a maltof cocktail in a

750
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: cyber truck in Oregon or whatever. You're just being an idiot, right,

751
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: which is not a surprise. But why do they hate

752
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: him so much? Because he's a threat to the ideological

753
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: system of the left. Because the ideological system of the left,

754
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 1: the apparatus as I have called it for a long time,

755
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: needs the fraud and needs to avoid and evade accountability

756
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: of the American people. That's why they get so upset

757
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:47,439
Speaker 1: about this. That's why there's such rage about Elon specifically.

758
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 1: There is no good faith reason to be angry about

759
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: what Elon is trying to accomplish, and all Democrats do

760
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 1: is complain about it. All they do is try to

761
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 1: stand in his way. It tells you everything you need

762
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:07,240
Speaker 1: to know. Tomorrow, join me online for a special videotaped interview.

763
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: It starts at eleven am Eastern, just an hour before

764
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:13,839
Speaker 1: the show. It's a conversation with my dad. You won't

765
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: want to miss. I grew up in New York, Citi,

766
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,800
Speaker 1: as you know, in a stockbroker family. My dad was

767
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: a stockbroker and made his name by making incredible calls

768
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: in advance about where the market's going. Most notably, he

769
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: became famous back in eighty seven when he called the

770
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 1: crash in advance on TV. He nailed it. He also

771
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: called the crash in two thousand and nine for his

772
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: private clients. It's an incredible track record. The predictions are

773
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: too numerous to get into all here, but the big one,

774

783
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck. I was

784
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:26,760
Speaker 1: mentioning before this story about Mahmood Khalil. This is getting

785
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: a lot of attention right now. New York Times and

786
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 1: others all in up in arms about this. So let's

787
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:37,280
Speaker 1: let's look at what this story is. You will remember,

788
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,919
Speaker 1: and we talked about it here on the show. There

789
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 1: were some just outrageous anti Semitic protests, and protest doesn't

790
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:54,280
Speaker 1: really cover because some of it was threats, trespassing, destruction

791
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 1: of property. There were crimes that were committed. Now I'm

792
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 1: not saying these are all serious felonies or you know,

793
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: there's something, but there were there were crimes that were

794
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: committed on campus. And Trump has said that they can

795
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: either clean up their act or they're going to lose

796
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 1: I think they're set to lose hundreds of millions of

797
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 1: dollars at Columbia in federal grants. Why are private institutions

798
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: like Columbia getting hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer money?

799
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 1: Very good question, something to be looked at. We're going

800
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: to look at that. But this case is interesting to me.

801
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:28,800
Speaker 1: There's a lot of back and forth. The Speaker of

802
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: the House just you know, it's already gone up to

803
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: that level. Speaker of Ause Johnson took time from the

804
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 1: ongoing wrangling of Members of Congress or the continuing resolution

805
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 1: to address this, and he said that this is cut eighteen.

806
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 1: Here's Speaker Mike Johnson play it.

807
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 2: If you're on a student visa, I'm gonna say this clearly.

808
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 2: If you were on a student visa and you're in

809
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 2: America and you're an aspiring young tearrist who wants to

810
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 2: prey upon your Jewish classmates, you're going home. We're going

811
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 2: to arrest your tale, and we're going to send you

812
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 2: home where you belong. And that this is just getting started.

813
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: So look, I.

814
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 2: Appreciate free speech. I used to defend it in courts,

815
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 2: but this is far beyond the Pael of that when

816
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:16,320
Speaker 2: you were threatening your classmates and spewing anti Semitism and

817
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 2: all this hatred. It's enough, and I think the American

818
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 2: people understand that they're supporting it, and I'm glad we

819
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,879
Speaker 2: have a president who's strong enough to lay down the law.

820
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,439
Speaker 1: So I've got a lot of thoughts about this, and

821
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: I do want to hear from some of your old

822
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:32,919
Speaker 1: but we're going to be coming to close the show

823
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 1: here pretty soon, so maybe get your talkbacks, reading your

824
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,320
Speaker 1: emails ready because they won't have that much time for calls.

825
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: Here's what I see on this. This guy was part

826
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 1: of these Columbia protests. Machmoud Khalil. We'll just call hi

827
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 1: Khalil from here here on out in Arabic class. My

828
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 1: Arabic name was Khaled, for those who want to know

829
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,399
Speaker 1: back in the day. It's been a while I could

830
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 1: still write it, I guess if I had to. So yeah, anyway,

831
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 1: So this guy Khalil, he was arrested at his home

832
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: by ICE agents and is facing deportation. He's a big

833
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,919
Speaker 1: pro Palestinian guy. Now, this is where it all gets

834
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 1: kind of. This is where a lot of the fighting happens,

835
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: right because they say, well, you're allowed to be pro Palestinian. Okay, yeah,

836
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 1: you're allowed to be pro Palestinian. Sure, I'm talking about

837
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: First Amendment stuff, But are you proposed, Tony, you're pro Hamas.

838
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: AMA's a terrorist entity. If you are selling T shirts

839
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: to raise money for Hamas, it's a designated terrorist. And

840
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he did this. I'm just working through

841
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 1: some of the the you know, the intricacies here of

842
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,400
Speaker 1: this of this case. If you're selling T shirts or mugs.

843
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:43,919
Speaker 1: You know, if you're selling a mug, iHeart Hamas. First

844
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,879
Speaker 1: of all, you're a lunatic second of all, and you're

845
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 1: trying to send that money to Hamas. That's material support

846
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: to a terrorist organization. I think you can get ten

847
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:53,360
Speaker 1: years ten years federal for that. So that's clearly a

848
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 1: violation of the law. And that's for anybody. You're here

849
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,319
Speaker 1: at as an American Green carn hold that does matter

850
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 1: any you can't do that. You're you're in US jurisdiction

851
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 1: of any kind and you're doing some material support for

852
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: terrorist organization. Now, can you speak in favor of a

853
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 1: terrorist organization under the First Amendment? Clearly you can. So

854
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 1: you can say you know, you can't say that I

855
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 1: agreed with, you know, the plans of Abu Bakkerel Baghdadi

856
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,479
Speaker 1: to create a caliphate or something. You know, you can

857
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 1: say that, but you can't take any steps to advance

858
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: or assist or help because then again we get back

859
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 1: to material support. You can't be a US spokesman for

860
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 1: that group. Then you're definitely going to Gitmo or something.

861
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:43,760
Speaker 1: So there are places where this cross is over very quickly.

862
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 1: Here is what we know about this guy, Khalil. He

863
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 1: was at Columbia. He was a prominent face of these

864
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 1: again they called them protests. It was really and there

865
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: were Jewish students who were you know, hounded and harassed

866
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 1: on campus. I hate all of that, like I you

867
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: know how I feel about Israel's fight against Amas. Could

868
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 1: not be more in favor of Israel doing what it

869
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:12,800
Speaker 1: needs to defend itself. You know how I feel about

870
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 1: anti Semitism, and it has no place anywhere here. Here's

871
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 1: the only place where I have a little bit of

872
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: a question about this. On the one hand, I feel

873
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:29,320
Speaker 1: very strongly that if you're if you're a guest here,

874
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 1: you've got to be on meaning if you're not, you know,

875
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 1: if you're somebody who's visited, and this even includes people

876
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 1: who have a green card, you're not yet a citizen.

877
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: If you break the law, you gotta go. You got

878
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: to go, right that I am, And that has not

879
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: been the cases we've seen with a lot of there's

880
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: so so much of a lack of enforcement on this.

881
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: But if you break the law, you got to go.

882
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 1: And it doesn't have to be like a rape or

883
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 1: a murder. It's just if you break the law and

884
00:50:55,920 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 1: you are charged with a crime, you gotta go. The

885
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 1: issue that I see here is this guy I don't

886
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 1: believe has been charged with any crime. I don't believe

887
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 1: he's been charged with any crime. His behavior, from what

888
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:18,840
Speaker 1: I can gather from everything, is abhorrent. I disagree with

889
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 1: him on everything. I think he's a scumbag. He's a

890
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 1: guest in this country. Yes, So he has that elevated,

891
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 1: that elevated expectation of you know, you don't get to

892
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 1: just do whatever, like you don't get And now in

893
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: the actual laws that pertain to this with when it

894
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 1: comes to immigration, there are you know, there are things

895
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: that specifically cite a desire to overthrow the United States

896
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 1: by force so if you're even so, there are ideological

897
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 1: places where you you know first of it. If you

898
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 1: come to this country and you're let's say you're from

899
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 1: communist China and you are visiting on a student visa

900
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 1: and you start saying out in public, I think that

901
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 1: there should be a violent revolution overthrow the United States government.

902
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 1: I'm out, we can kick your butt out of here.

903
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:12,839
Speaker 1: That is in the law. There's no doubt about that right.

904
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 1: That is that is statute. I actually was reading the

905
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,280
Speaker 1: statue before I came on this morning to make sure

906
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 1: a lot of immigration statutes are ignored as we know,

907
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:24,799
Speaker 1: and that should not be the case because they are

908
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: existing law, just like all the other laws. With this guy,

909
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 1: where I think it gets interesting is has he if

910
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna be sent home as a as somebody who's

911
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:38,760
Speaker 1: here on a student visa as a Green card holder?

912
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 1: I've heard both. By the way, guys, can we check

913
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 1: on that is he a green card holder? Or is

914
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:44,839
Speaker 1: he here on a student visa? Or is it is it

915
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 1: one then the other? Is it both? Got to check

916
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 1: his status. You should be on your best behavior here.

917
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 1: You do not have the full rights of a citizen here.

918
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 1: Obviously you can't vote. There's a whole bunch of things.

919
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 1: If you're a guest here, you you should just be

920
00:52:56,680 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 1: thankful and total obedience to the law. If he broke

921
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 1: the law, and that's why we're sending him home, well

922
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:08,720
Speaker 1: there should there should at least be a charge filed,

923
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 1: right that somebody should charge him with.

924
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 6: Uh.

925
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 1: And there's a bunch that I think would apply here.

926
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 1: Harassment and you know, intimidation. Menacing, I believe is a

927
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 1: statute in the Penal Code in New York City if

928
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 1: memory serves. When I was in the NYPD briefly the NYPD,

929
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:27,439
Speaker 1: and and I was kind of like a hired nerd

930
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 1: for the NYPD, I wasn't doing the like real cop stuff,

931
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 1: but I think menacing would be in there, you know,

932
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 1: assault and battery, destruction of property, any of that. But

933
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,919
Speaker 1: to say that he's done it and therefore we're kicking

934
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:44,240
Speaker 1: him out without him being charged with any of that

935
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 1: that I know he's a scumback. I don't like this

936
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:50,360
Speaker 1: guy or what he stands for either, but we have

937
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 1: there there is due like there is due process. We

938
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 1: still do need due process. So has he gotten that

939
00:53:56,200 --> 00:54:01,239
Speaker 1: due process yet? That that is a question that I

940
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 1: have about this. A judge has already blocked now I'm

941
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:10,240
Speaker 1: sure a left wing judge his removal from the US

942
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 1: pending an action on habeas as in, why is this

943
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 1: guy in custody? This is going to get interesting because

944
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 1: if he's in custody for not you know, for saying

945
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 1: bad things, Okay, well that's not really a crime. If

946
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 1: he's in custody for breaking laws, let's bring that charge

947
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 1: and then let's go and let's find him guilty, and

948
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:39,359
Speaker 1: then let's send his ass home. Very straightforward again, I'm

949
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:44,319
Speaker 1: all for you have to behave and you have to

950
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 1: obey the law in this country, especially if you're a

951
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,360
Speaker 1: visitor or else you go home. No, no offens or butts.

952
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 1: But if we're saying that he was trying to call

953
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 1: for the violent, I think he wanted to call for

954
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 1: And by the way, I'm raising questions here, I haven't

955
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: been able to look at everything this guy's ever said.

956
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 1: And there's I think he said he wants to the

957
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 1: downfall of Western civilization, right, And that's where we get to.

958
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:12,840
Speaker 1: Can you look at the downfall of Western civilization as

959
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:16,440
Speaker 1: the equivalent in statute of a violent overthrow of the

960
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:21,240
Speaker 1: United States government. You know, it's it's getting pretty close.

961
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:24,359
Speaker 1: This is this is where the judgment starts to come

962
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:27,840
Speaker 1: in again. Anybody who wants the violent overthrow of or

963
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 1: the overthrow rather Western civilization, I'm opposed to with every

964
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 1: fiber of my being. It would be a disaster, not

965
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:35,320
Speaker 1: just for those of us who live in Western civilization,

966
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:37,359
Speaker 1: but for the rest of the world because we kind

967
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 1: of prop up civilization for everybody else too. Just saying so,

968
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:44,720
Speaker 1: I want to see what exactly it was that uh,

969
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: and this is gonna come out in the Habeas Habeas

970
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 1: corpus petition, right, this is what they're fighting over. Okay, well,

971
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:51,760
Speaker 1: why is this guy in custody? And I keep hearing

972
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 1: all of these different things, and now I'm just gonna

973
00:55:55,480 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say this, is this applicable in this

974
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 1: case specifically applying to issues of anti Semitism and anti

975
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: Jewish speech on campus? Is it going to be applied

976
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 1: to other speech on campus that is particularly problematic? And

977
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 1: who is going to determine what that problematic speech may be?

978
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 1: I bring it up because let's just fast forward. Forget

979
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:24,880
Speaker 1: about where we are now. Our team, the good guys

980
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:27,239
Speaker 1: are in charge and I know it's like we trust them,

981
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 1: right for the most part. You go to a if

982
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 1: I say AOC administration, you'll all just start laughing, so

983
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 1: you won't even follow the analogy. But you go to

984
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:42,440
Speaker 1: a Gavin Newsom, you're probably still laughing. A Gavin Newsom administration.

985
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 1: And somebody on campus wants to say or is saying

986
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 1: things that are highly highly offensive to Democrats. Are they

987
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: going to be able to and they're visiting, right, they're

988
00:56:57,120 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 1: not an American citizen, they do not citizenship, right, our

989
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:02,319
Speaker 1: Democrats can be able to say, you're calling for the

990
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 1: extermination of trans people, you're calling for violence against trans people.

991
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:11,279
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna tell me, oh, no, come on,

992
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:13,919
Speaker 1: these people think that a man can become a woman.

993
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 1: You don't think they're going to make this argument. At

994
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,479
Speaker 1: some point if we start to open this up again,

995
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 1: there has to be I just want to know what

996
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 1: the clear process is here. Mamood Khalil stands for everything,

997
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 1: stands against everything that I stand for on the issues

998
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 1: that concerns him or on the reasons, and his anti

999
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 1: Semitism is vile and the guy shouldn't be in this country.

1000
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 1: But I just want and this is where the Habeast

1001
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 1: peedition comes in. We need clarity on what is the

1002
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 1: reason that he's being removed. Because if the executive branch

1003
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:47,760
Speaker 1: can point to someone and say, well, you're a visitor

1004
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 1: here and I just don't like what you're saying, even

1005
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:53,959
Speaker 1: if in this case it's fully warranted, we totally agree

1006
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 1: with it, there's a precedent that they can just tell people, oh, no,

1007
00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to come here and say that you're

1008
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 1: not allowed to I'm here as a as a refugee

1009
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 1: from say, as a white refugee from South Africa, which

1010
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: is another thing that Trump has been talking about and

1011
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 1: talk about the state racism in South Africa against white

1012
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 1: South Africa. No, no, no, not allowed. That that's creating,

1013
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 1: you know, racial disharmony in this country and it's so

1014
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 1: you have to go home again in the Gavin Newsom administration.

1015
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:26,920
Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying. I want clarity in this.

1016
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: I don't I'm not opposed to it, but I want

1017
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: some of these answers because we need to be clear

1018
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 1: about what the standard is. And the standard can't just

1019
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 1: be a one off standard on this issue. As as

1020
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 1: awful as the anti semitism stuff on campus was because

1021
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:45,920
Speaker 1: if it is just speech we really don't like on campus.

1022
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 1: Remember I wrote my college thesis on speech codes on campus, right,

1023
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 1: So this is going back for me a long time.

1024
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this issue over twenty years ago

1025
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 1: and researching it and looking at all the different speech

1026
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 1: codes of a whole range of different schools. If it's

1027
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 1: just going to be you say things that are really

1028
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 1: heinous and bad, and then they claim that somehow that's

1029
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 1: inciting violence, and then that's a violation of your student visa,

1030
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 1: the other side is going to be empower at some point,

1031
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 1: and I can assure you they will abuse this, which

1032
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 1: is why the process matters. So I have a little

1033
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 1: bit of a different take on this, I think than

1034
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 1: some other people on the right right now, inso much

1035
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 1: as I want more I want I want more issues,

1036
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:33,640
Speaker 1: more answers rather and more clarity on this one. But yes,

1037
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 1: if you break the law and your visitor gone, If

1038
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 1: you violate statute, you're a visitor gone. That is absolutely

1039
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 1: But you got to do one of those to show

1040
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 1: me the violation the statute, show me where the law

1041
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:48,920
Speaker 1: is broken, and show me where the charge has been leveled.

1042
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 1: It can't just be someone determines it because they say so, right,

1043
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 1: I would think, unless I guess maybe an immigration judge

1044
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 1: can just unilaterally decide based on This is where you

1045
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:00,560
Speaker 1: have to get very specific in the immigration statute. That

1046
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 1: may be the case. Executive branch may have full authority

1047
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 1: tell this guy that, you know, you go packing. And

1048
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:08,960
Speaker 1: I'm not opposed to that at all. I'm for that.

1049
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 1: I just want to know what is he being sent

1050
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 1: packing for, because saying stupid, heinous things I need. I

1051
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 1: need more specificity than that. If it's overthrowing Western civilization

1052
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 1: is tantamount to overthrow the United States government, well let's

1053
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 1: have this will come out in the Habeas petition, by

1054
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 1: the way, so we will return to this issue. But

1055
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 1: I wanted to be, you know, intellectually honest with you

1056
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:34,479
Speaker 1: as I work through this one and just see what's

1057
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 1: really what's really at issue, what's really going on here,

1058
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 1: because I know right now it's like, oh, our team

1059
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 1: is in charge and it's the pendulum will swing, my friends.

1060
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 1: Keep that in mind. The Preborn Network of Clinics is

1061
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:49,680
Speaker 1: an incredible nonprofit that is dedicated to saving the lives

1062
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 1: of unborn children. Their success over the last couple of

1063
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 1: decades is staggering. Preborn opens and operates clinics and communities

1064
01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 1: nationwide where abortion rates are the highest per capita. They

1065
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:02,000
Speaker 1: do that pecifically so they can interact with pregnant women

1066
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 1: deciding between life or abortion for their unborn child. Their

1067
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 1: ability to see life prevail is proven time and again.

1068
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:11,440
Speaker 1: Three hundred thousand plus babies have been born and brought

1069
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 1: into this world that otherwise would not have been. They

1070
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 1: do this by introducing women mothers to be rather to
